Half Moon Bay Bakery

In summary, I stopped by for some pastries and absolutely loved this place. I’ll definitely return next time I’m in the Bay Area.

This is my favorite bakery in half moon bay, It's so sweet and well located.

You have to take me here! Every time I visit Half Moon Bay for the art and pumpkin festival, this is one of the places I must check out. If you don’t arrive early enough, you’ll find a line out the door and limited options. They always have the best pumpkin treats like cookies, bread, and muffins, along with some amazing pumpkins. Unfortunately, I was in Pescadero today, and when I got there at 2:00, they were closed. What a bummer! Oh well, I'll give it another shot and hope to beat the crowds in mid-October.

I visited the restaurant for the first time in January 2021. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, they were limiting the store to a maximum of four customers at a time. I ordered an Italian lemon cake ($4.50) and a chocolate eclair ($4.50), and both were delicious! The chocolate eclair had just the right amount of cream, and the lemon cake was incredibly soft. Just a heads up— they do charge for bags, so it's a good idea to bring your own reusable shopping bag if you can.

Best pumpkin cake in HMB. All year round, but a big autumn favorite around the annual pumpkin festival, which was captivated in 2020 due to Covid 19. Nevertheless, it is still made with the same quality and taste.
